Hello everyone! Today I have a new to me nail art technique and it involves foils! I have always avoided them due to the horror stories I hear of them wrinkling under top coat. That is, until I decided to take the plunge and try out some of Born Pretty Store's nail foils. I decided to go with some bold colours and chose the designs in #13 and #23. As a base colour, I applied two coats of Bourjois 2007 1 seconde nail enamel.

Did you know that Born Pretty Store also sells a nail polish bottle holder?! I've been searching for the longest time for one and it turns out it was right under my nose!

I've always wanted a holder to help keep my bottles slanted so that I can reach the dang last bits of base/top coat in the bottle. Because it's so much more effort to manually tilt the bottle each time before dipping the brush in, drawing it out, putting the bottle down, and then painting the nail ;) No really, it's so much handier to have the bottle holder. It's a nice size and fits the average nail polish bottle. Just make sure you fit the bottle into the holder before you paint your nails to avoid them getting damaged... ;)

Have you tried any nail foils before? Do you own a nail polish bottle holder - does it save your nail painting life? ;)
